Hmm. (cross-posting to ppc@) Something's odd, here.

Related to adduser vs. useradd, I suppose? But, I thought I'd check the source to see which was being invoked in the install script (neither), and I discovered something odd. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sh?rev=1.214;content-type=text%2Fplain uline="${user}:${_encr}:1000:1000:staff:0:0:${username}:/home/${user}:/bin/ksh" echo "$uline" >> /mnt/etc/master.passwd and chown -R 1000:1000 /mnt/home/$user /mnt/var/mail/$user But that's not what happened in my install, and it's not what is in the "install" script in my "/bsd.rd" . Having a bit of a hard time finding the install script for the macppc iso in the source, so I'll copy those lines out of a boot of /bsd.rd: userline="$${user}:${_encr}:1000:10:staff:0:0:${username}:/home/${user}:/bin/ksh" which explains why my initial administrator user declared from the install ended up in the "users" group. And chown -R 1000.10 /mnt/home/$user /mnt/var/mail/$user which seems to mean that assigning the group as "users" might have been intentional? Is this a bug that I should file? -- Joel Rees <joel_r...@sannet.ne.jp>
